Historical sea time
Recover the vessel history behind your sea time.
SeaPath helps you review past vessel activity using MarineTraffic AIS data. Combine available movement records with your own service dates and supporting evidence to organise your maritime history.
How much historical sea time can you recover?
SeaPath Plus and Pro include access to available AIS records dating back more than 11 years, without a separate history add-on fee. Availability varies by vessel, date and recorded coverage. Free accounts have a rolling window covering the most recent five days.
AIS history is vessel activity, not a verified record of your employment. A gap in AIS coverage does not mean you were on leave or that no voyage took place.
Compare SeaPath plansRebuild a service period in three steps
- Identify the vessel and your service dates. Use your discharge book, contracts or other records to establish when you joined and left.
- Review available AIS activity. Use SeaPath’s vessel history and calendar to review movement categories. Check uncertain days against your own records.
- Keep the evidence together. Retain signed testimonials and the documents required for your qualification route. Review totals before using them in an application.
What can AIS history tell you?
AIS can help reconstruct a vessel’s movements and support review of underway, anchor, port and yard activity. It cannot prove who was on board, what duties they performed or whether a particular day meets a certificate requirement.
SeaPath uses MarineTraffic data. MarineTraffic is a Kpler brand. The wider Kpler network’s capabilities do not guarantee continuous coverage or access to every historical record through SeaPath.

No. SeaPath helps organise your personal records. AIS-derived tracking does not prove your presence on board or replace signed testimonials, required verification or the MCA’s assessment. SeaPath is not affiliated with or endorsed by the MCA or any maritime authority.
